Coaches often reach a limit trading time for sessions. Creating an online course helps package your expertise, serve more people, and earn income passively.
Here’s how to build a high-impact course:
1. Define the transformation
Start with the end result: What will students be able to do, understand, or feel after completing the course? This is your course promise.
2. Outline your modules
Break down the journey into 3–8 steps or modules. Each should build on the last and move students closer to the outcome.
3. Choose your format
Use video (Zoom, Loom), slides, PDFs, or audio—whatever best suits your content and audience.
4. Select a platform
Popular platforms include:
- Teachable, Thinkific, or Kajabi (all-in-one)
- Podia for simple setup
- Gumroad for quick launch
5. Create supporting materials
Add checklists, templates, or workbooks to enhance the experience and boost perceived value.
6. Launch and promote
Start with a small group (beta round), gather testimonials, and refine. Then scale with email marketing, webinars, and ads.
An online course lets you teach once and serve many—building both authority and automated income.
